Salty Old Sea Dog

Due to Wind Sock standing straight out, Hubby Bob could not fly Wed. AM. We decided to go to the beach. Above is entrance to Longboat Key beach, we walked on the beach at 8:15, so a little dark for the photos. (don't fret, I got LOTS of photos to share)

View to our left, perfect day for it, 75 degrees, sun coming up fast and by the time we left at 9:45 it was HOT. we both love all things beach and this one is less than 10 miles away

View to our right, as you can see he is already headed to our favorite beach, Beer Can Island, storms had totally destroyed it and it has been closed for 2 years, we found it restored to it's old beauty.

Can you guess what I was doing while Bob strolled the beach? here is your hint, Snap Snap Snap

The gulf waters are crystal clear, Snap Snap Snap

about a mile hike to the island , snap snap snap

my protector! snap snap snap

Where did he go??? snap snap snap

There he is.. snap snap snap

I am WAITING! snap snap snap

Can you guess why he is holding my camera? answer tomorrow..... and proof I took photos of other things than Bob, my Salty Old Sea Dog....

Hi Sandra, I really enjoyed your series today! Bob and the sandy beach are terrific! What a nice secluded spot..looks moody and can see why its your favorite! Love the old roots. Tons of white sand too (we don't have as much on this side of the island.Well I'm on my mobile as my laptop is presently under construction.. enjoy your day~

Looks like your Salty Old Sea Dog was throughly enjoying himself! Doesn't even look like your snapping bothered him. Yep, even posing for you... I will bet now that yall have found that your favorite beach is back, you will be going more... I know what you were doing, probably in the sand dunes.....? Am I right? Love ya, Madeline

I love everything from the first picture on! Love that first picture, it draws me in! I can't believe you got Bob to pose for you!!! And fallen trees on a beach? I notice in the second picture there is a ridge across the sand, is that from where the waves hit? I noticed right away how clear the water is? And I cannot imagine why he is holding your camera, it must be something important for you to turn it loose!!! Maybe you needed a bathroom break? But are there porta-potties there? I always love your beach posts, because I have never been to the beach or seen a real one. Except for once when I was so little I don't remember much.

O.K. my second guess why he is holding your camera. You found something real interesting to snap and you need both hands to get it in just the right position for the shot. This is too fun!!! Can't wait till tomorrow!

Oh My Heart... I'd be walking on that beach every single day. I do remember when we lived in Venice, I loved walking on the beach. BUT--at that time I had 3 little munchkins --so when we went to the beach, I had to watch them like a hawk....

What a good hubby! I would want to walk that beach everyday. It's so beautiful and peaceful. Why was he holding your camera? Maybe he thought you were making a call and you used your camera phone to snap a quick pic. Can't wait to find out!

what a beautiful stretch of beach. i love driftwood, the look and feel. i especially like the bird against the blue sky framed by the white clouds. that was one great show right down the water's edge.:)

that is one gorgeous beach. Since I'm catching up here, I started to read your next post and saw continuing on from yesterday. so I stopped reading and thought I would read this one first so as not to miss anything :)
